NEX10™
Radiall’s NEX10™ series is a miniature and lightweight RF Coaxial connector with excellent intermodulation performance for outdoor telecom applications up to 20 GHz.
Growing demand for new generation equipment within the Telecom market requires a top performance solution with exceptional benefits and features. To develop this solution, Radiall has partnered with two leading RF connector manufacturers to develop a new compact extremely robust Low PIM connector: NEX10™.
With exceptional performance up to 20 GHz in order to meet the performance needs of customers, NEX10™ also features a compact design which is 50% smaller than 4.3-10. This unique solution also offers separation of electrical and mechanical reference planes, which maximizes intermodulation performance under static, dynamic, vibrations and torque stress conditions.
NEX10™ is available in multiple configurations:
• Jack: square flange, bulkhead
• Plug: straight & right angle
• Screw-on & push-pull coupling mechanism
• Multi-coax
• Additional boot
• Jumper
NEX10™ meets market needs by providing 4.3-10 connector advantages in a smaller size. The more robust and lightweight interface design allows for multi-coax interconnection solution.
